The FIVE

Chapter 26- It's Me!

Alex's POV
"Ansley I'm starting to get really worried, he hasn't contacted us in a week now" I sigh. My phone rings just as Ansley was about to reply. I look at the caller ID and see that it's Jake. I put the phone on speaker and pick up apprehensively. "Jake? Oh my god we've been so worried, where the hell are you?"

"Guess again little bird" The voice that I recognize from the island says causing panic to raise in me. "Where's Jake?" I snap.

"Oh he's here, isn't that right Jakey?"

"Alex don't do what he says it's a trap! If anything happens to me, I love you-"

"Okay that's enough. See you soon Alex" Ryder hangs up leaving me to start hyperventilating. "No. No no no no no! This can't be happening! I gotta go find him"

"Alex, we are going to find him but we have to be calm-"

"I can't be calm! I love him!" Tears fill in my eyes. "I love him and I am never gonna get to tell him that and it's my fault! We are all gonna die because of me-"

"We are not gonna die" Ansley grabs my shoulders calmly and tries to reassure me but I can't calm down. "Max once told me that we do things for the people we love even if it means putting ourselves in danger. This bastard killed everyone I love and he is gonna kill Jake too unless I do something about it" I back up towards the door and the look on Ansley's face is pure fear.

"Uh Alex..." I turn around and see a guy in a mask, I scream as he breaks through the glass. I turn around to see that Ansley is gone so I run, once I hear complete silence, I grab a knife from the kitchen and start yelling.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE! ITS ME YOU WANT! WHATEVER YOU ARE AFTER ITS ME!" I turn around and come face to face with the guy in the mask who hits me in the face. The last thing I saw was his black boots.
Jake's POV
When I woke up, I saw that Alex and Ansley were tied up next to me, Alex was passed out but Ansley is crying hysterically. "Alex, Alex wake up!" I try to shake her but she groans, she took a big blow to the head, I'm really worried.

"W-where are we?" She asks sounding out of it. "I don't know, but we are gonna get out of here"

"I wouldn't say that Jakey" Stacy giggles while walking out of the shadows followed by two guys wearing masks. "W-what's going on?!" Alex panics

"Easy Alex, you have a wound to the head, might be a concussion" A voice that I recognize as Derek's says while taking off his mask, her eyes bug out. "D-Derek? Why are you doing this?! Woah, I don't feel so good" she holds her head with her tied up hands.

"You told me she was going to be fine Ryder! She's clearly not fine!" Derek snaps.
Alex's POV
I feel weak. I'm starting to see light.

Stay awake Alex.

Stay awake!

"Why are you doing this to us?" I ask as my eyes start to close, Stacy slaps my face which wakes me up a little. "We would be here if Ryder would have just killed you all when he had the chance!" Stacy snaps.

"I don't understand, Andrew was her brother and he's dead-"

"Don't you understand? Sarah was our sister too! Her and Andrew were the ones that got adopted while we were left to dry! We spent our lives on the street after we turned 18 and then Andrew told us about Sarah, we've been plotting revenge on all of you ever since" Stacy picks at her nails and Ryder continues.

"Of course though, Andrew was way too nice and didn't wanna go through it. So we killed him. Whoops!" He chuckles evilly.

"Derek you said you loved me!" I grunt as a tear falls down my face, before he could respond, Stacy said "Love is for the weak and weakness is for the dead" she hit me in the head with a gun, knocking me out.
Jake's POV
"Alex? Alex!" It's no use, she's knocked out. All I hope is that she doesn't die... She can't, I can't live without her. She's the last thing I have to family.
